Chapter 564 - The Scandal Comes to Light (2/2)

Wen Haowen instantly felt teeth-grinding anger. “Father, you rather believe outsiders than your own son? Director Wang and the rest have always been despicable scums, how can you believe their words?”

Director Wang and the rest actually betrayed him. Those despicable scums.

Old Mr. Wen asked him back, “If their words are untrustworthy, are yours trustworthy?”

Wen Haowen wanted to say “yes”. However, when he faced the Old Man’s icy cold expression filled with mockery and sarcasm, his words got stuck in his throat and he couldn’t spit anything out.

Old Mr. Wen’s gaze was extremely cold, to the point that it was almost emotionless. “If I’m not wrong, the scandal regarding Xinya recently also has something to do with you. You knew that I’d met Lawyer Luo and so was anxious to taint Xinya’s reputation, wanting to make her appear like a treacherous and unfilial daughter so that she can’t stay in the circle anymore. Am I right?”

Wen Haowen wanted to deny, but the Old Man’s emotionless expression made him suddenly feel uneasy. “Father… I…”

Old Mr. Wen’s face presented an ashen and defeated look. “Don’t try to deny. Some things are better left unsaid.”

Wen Haowen couldn’t hold his expression anymore. His face gradually turned twisted, the veins on his forehead protruded bit by bit, and his bloodshot eyes slowly became evil and vicious as they stared at Old Mr. Wen just like this.

Old Mr. Wen looked at Wen Haowen with a pained expression. “Even a monster won’t hurt its own children. You’re actually so vicious and heartless to use this kind of tactic on your own daughter—you’re totally worse than a beast.”

Wen Haowen radiated maliciousness all over. “Ever since Wen Xinya returned to the Wen Family, have you ever cared about this son of yours—you’d rather hand the Wen Corporation over to a little hooligan on the streets who’d led a wandering life for fifteen years. I’m not convinced… I’m your son and the Wen Corporation obviously belongs to me. However, I’ve worked hard, managed the entire Wen Corporation, and eventually… I’ve only paved the way for Wen Xinya.”

“Haowen, what has become of you?” Old Mr. Wen had a serious expression. It wasn’t his first time hearing these words—previously, because of these words, he had almost lost his life.

Wen Haowen said furiously, “Wen Xinya has such a humiliating past which can never be erased. She’ll only bring embarrassment and humiliation to the Wen Family and implicate the Wen Corporation. Father… why do you still not understand that she’s totally unfit to be the successor of the Wen Family?”

As Old Mr. Wen listened to his words, his face had a tinge of self-reproach and regret. “I’m also at fault for you becoming like this today. I’d been too focused on my career previously and neglected to discipline you. Subsequently, as I felt guilty towards you, I’d been mostly lenient with you and even transferred 15% of the Wen Corporation’s shares to you and retired from the business world way earlier to make it up to you…”

Wen Haowen furiously interrupted his words and said, “Father, your speech is so altisonant. Since when have you had eyes for a son like me—I totally deserve everything I have today.”

Old Mr. Wen slowly waved his hand—he already didn’t know what else to say. “In that case, there’s nothing else I can say. I wish you all the best.”

Wen Haowen’s expression was extremely cold as he landed an evil and menacing gaze on Wen Xinya. “Father, I won’t watch on as you make the mistake of handing the massive Wen Corporation to this little hooligan who’d led a wandering life.”

Wen Xinya looked plainly back at Wen Haowen with a tinge of sarcasm and mockery…
